I'm shocked that your channel doesn't have more views, but I really appreciate it. I'm looking for a new career (that doesn't involve me losing my hearing to jet engines) and your videos don't try to sell me on a grindset. Thanks, Simon.
Hahah thanks for your support! 😄 I try to get to the point and teach what you need to know. It is a long journey ahead, but I believe you can achieve your goals
check now mashallah hes growinggg ,soon he will hit millions nd milions of views inshallah
the same you really help me thank you
@@SuperSimpleDevHello. Please help with your advice. I am interested in programming, I love technology, Linux. And now my father says that they can help me get a degree in Computer Science. But some say that this education is useless. I remember your video in which you said that CS it's a good education but it's been a while since that time. Please tell me what you think about it now. thank you
great contents
as self taught developer, I have built an online learning platform to upload all my project.
thousands of people are using it.
I monotized that plateform with ads and affiliate link from amazon.
this upcoming I have three interviews. hopefully , I will crush them all
thanks for advice
Wow that’s really impressive! What’s the learning platform called? And best of luck! 😄
@@SuperSimpleDev you are a value champ programmer
Information is information no matter how you learned it.
For more than a year I have been working as a software engineer without a CS degree.
What a goldmine channel. This is really amazing content. Started with your front/back-end videos and every video I've watched has been incredible. Looking forward to trying your JS course!
This is the best video on this topic. Love how short and concise this is
Ever since I met this channel html,css and javascript became supersimple , you deserve much greater ,thanks
I cannot thank you enough. What you do, Simon, is truly unique and irreplaceable. It's your way of explaining things that changes the game. Once again, I want to express my gratitude. Thanks to you, I now have a fresh perspective to start from.
Thank you for your sharing, Simon! I found your videos super concise, insightful and sincere. I am in awe of how you nailed simplifying ideas and concepts to deliver them. Apart from the pure tech stuff, I look up to your communication skills.
hey bro.... I'm happy for the words that I've heard from you..... its so heart warming not just the ideas or the content of this presentation but for the sincerity and willingness from you to help other like me as a newbie. There are a lot of factors that sometimes makes me feel upset but thank you, I've seen a lot of videos from your channel, and this is one of a kind channel, easy to understand especially as a Philippine National / pinoy...... by the way I'm just new and I'm already 35 yrs old, and for now I'm always learning from your videos about (JavaScript Full Course (2023) - Beginner to Pro - Part 1) and it helps me a lot to easily understand about basic..... Thank you so much God Bless you.....
I love each of your videos. Simple and straight forward.
Good content, am sharing this with my Linkedin connection for those non-IT (non-CS) graduates that want to get themself into IT.
Thanks for watching 😄 I really appreciate your support!
?🤣
Really like your videos. They're really thought out and the way you present them is so smooth and has tons of good information. keep up the work
Awesome! I'm happy the information makes sense for you 😄
This is really motivational for somone who is not in college and want to try to be developer by bootcamp or self taught. , wether its because college cost alot of money, time consuming or boring. Its sweet. Me watching this videos gives me hope to achieve my dream. Hope to give that back. Much blessings bro. This was informative and eye opening. Great video.
You make amazing videos. I love the honesty. Working through your HTML one right now. Super good. Clear and planned out education. Thank you :)
You were going through HTML a year ago. How far you have been in one year?
His level of insight is phenomenal. I am speechless.
Wow very underrated video... I've seen bunch of these but this one by far is the best. Great content!
Wow, thanks!
Short and concise , u got another subscriber. Good job
Simon. You’re the man. Thank you for the content you put out.
I love love your video! they are straightforward and very logical. And you speak very clearly with comfortable speed
Really good channel with quality contents. more views deserved!
Thanks simon, just found your page. I must say you are a blessing man.....Much love from Nigeria
Simply the best programming channel out there!
Keep up the videos, love the content! On my last semester of college as a Computer Engineering major and making the switch to Web development after finding out how much I actually like building websites and coding. Still going to finish but on my way to becoming a Software Engineer/Developer :)
Yeaah you got this! It’s great to hear you enjoy building, that will keep you ahead in this industry
Thank you so much, I needed this advice. I'm self-taught developer, thank you for making these video's.
just finished your Full Course about HTML & CSS. I have learnt a lot. Thanks mate !!!
Man you're so good 😃😃👍
I love your videos especially the CSS and HTML course
Thanks so much man!!!! You are my superhero! ❤
You spoke the Truths about getting a Job and the real issues as to what a typical dev would face while finding a job.
Super good. Clear and planned out education. Thank you :)
Thanks for sharing this, Simon - found this video super insightful with clear steps I could easily and immedaitely implement!
Subscribed!
Thanks for watching Paul! I’m happy this was helpful 😄
Mark my words one day you gonna have more than million subs.
Btw great video👍
Mind-blowing 💥💥 thanks for giving this type of eye opener information.
Thank you for such articulate advice.
You are amazing. every sentence you say has useful knowledge.
That college part is not true more often then not, just because you have finished college doesn't mean you can do any job, in fact it's opposite. In my country only 1/10 company cares about college, it's all about portfolio to get interview and then showing them you can actually do everything you said you can do. Even with work experience it's nice to have strong portfolio that way scouts will call you and you will no longer waste time searching for work as work will find you.
I wish I watched this video earlier, thanks for sharing this content man !
Another super great content provider ! much more videos like this one please to teach us how to freelance the right way and how to find the good jobs opportunities...Thank you ! :=)
Thanks for watching!
Wow, you speak truth. I am surprised it’s not polished answers just like other sites are.
Thanks this helped break things down.
Thank you
Very helpful, thank you!
Hey Simon, your videos are a roadmap for softerwar development.
I just started, and I think most of viewers are just entering the world of software engineering. Please share your journey during the development of your software. Provide us with a roadmap so we can get on the right path. Due to my lack of knowledge about , I am writing a comment to see if I can get a response. Your response will be highly appreciated and I will be happy to help anyone who wants to start a softwar engineering . I look forward to your response. You have a great collection of content...thanks a lot...
CS grad here. Even we struggle in today's market so we end up watching the same tutorials and following the same path as self-taught people.
Channels like this are making it all possible
Thanks for watching :)
Very informative, thank you! Subbed!
Thanks for watching!
One of the best channels ❤❤
Am glad to see this video and this really makes me ask a question. I am completing my 3 year degree in IT, in my last year right now. My degree is from a distance learning college, a part time degree to be exact, so how should I go about making a portfolio and to crack an interview? Should I first take a bootcamp in my interested domain (which is currently web development with python) and then apply for a job or do it the way a normal college student does (internships).
Now I know my learning curve matters in this alot but the way you gave the advice, it makes me curious to take a path which can prove better for my tech career.
you speak so clearly
As a man, who has associate degree in CS, I see this as an absolute opportunity
Thank you so much !
Hi Sir Simon, really love your videos 😊
it's Easy to understand what you are talking about and what you wanna convey, although I'm actually not a native speaker or fluent.
Oh that's great to hear! 😄
What would be your advice for a portfolio of computer vision or modelling work? Most of the magic in the modelling process is behind the sense. I meant it's easy to create a Flask web app to show how my model can do instance segmentation on microscopy images or classify a bird among > 500 species. However, the heavy lifting work is in the process of working on the model.
hello sir i will take cs50 course before front end course but the issue is python do i have to learn it or is it ok to learn directly after fundamentals (algorithme ect..) html css js and react .
I found an underrated 🔥 channel.
useful, thanks
Please make a video on how to make good portfolio, better github profile and overcome with the fear of when you start journey as a software engineer.
Dude, he is 💎 gem
It's simply because someone with a degree is supposed to have solid programming foundations.
A software engineering is about skills like: problem solving, solid algorithmic knowledge znd understanding fucintional and object oriented programming.
Also someone with c++ mastering (which is a well respected mid level language) can master any other languages quickly in laps of a month max.
Knowing all this make the choice of someone with degree and c++ more logical.
Ofc am talking about frech men not experienced devloppers
so meaningful...
can a 38 years old be a web devloper without a cs degree and get a job ?
boutta be an interner next month but i didn't know all about building trust or compete with other candidates
I'm a front end dev and I'm on my way to be a full stack dev
and I still at high school so do you recommend me to go to a university after graduating or just find a job with those skills or maybe being a freelancer????
Need your help answer plz!!!!!!!
I have chosen self-taught trajectory because University look for a good gpa while the degree takes a lot of time to complete and sometimes they are expensive
what kind of projects are good for a frontend resume ?? are clone projects good or beneficial ?? Like many people already made them so do they dont any value to distinguish ??
I think the quality of the project and code matters more than what the project is. I think a clone is fine (probably better than trying to design your own app), but try to pick a feature in the clone that's technically challenging and expand on it, a lot. Ideally, it's technical enough that you have to work hard on it for weeks/a month or so to figure it out and can't be taught in a 12hr tutorial. For my portfolio back in the day, I had an app that created playlists (pretty simple), but I had a feature that started a radio from that playlist that others could tune in and listen to
❤️🙌🏻
Idek where to start. I'm 22 and a welder. With the skills I have in that there isn't much room for growth. Is there anything you suggest for my first steps into the comp engineering world?
I would suggest trying out HTML and CSS first and making a simple website. You have to enjoy making things with code to succeed. You can try www.freecodecamp.org/learn/responsive-web-design/ or search beginner HTML tutorial on TH-cam if you prefer video. Just see if you like programming first then dive deeper. Hope this helps!
@@SuperSimpleDev Thank you kindly sir 🙏🏽 I'll hit ya back with some updates lol
@@calebgoforth9203 so hows it going
@@calebgoforth9203 yo, update us man!
Sir I am from India
i love you man
For my perspective companies doesn't care if you have a portfolio. They only want real experience and portfolio can be a plus.
can you use your TH-cam channel as a portfolio also?
Are you mentoring on css, is, python, sql, js, html?
I'm self taught 🥺and I know I'm gonna rock 🤟
I believe in you! 😄 I’m here to help how I can
What did you study at college?
I'm just curious
@@SuperSimpleDev Sir we want a large javascript course...
well I've got CS Degree but I don't have any work experience and I can't land any interview yet,
can you give me some tips?
Sure, I can review your resume if you’d like, my contact info is in the video description

I started as a self taught, done a bootcamp. Made a start on making my own website, using HTML, css, Made a gitbub account. Hopefully I will make a mini project. But errors on python seems to be an issue despite copying it correctly. Unless I overlooked the error.
I think you're headed in the right direction. Don't worry, dealing with issues are actually good because you get a deeper understanding of the language and you'll have something to talk about when an interviewer asks you "what are some technical issues have you faced?"
@@SuperSimpleDev really? Thanks. 👍 On python, errors like, indecent reference, white space etc. When the codes not aligned etc. I kind of started React. But got stuck on the loading page of React. I was thinking of documenting my progress. But I don't think anyone will be interested.
@@htmoh8115 Yup. I run coding interviews and those errors (reference, whitespace, misspelling, etc.) happen all the time when doing a coding problem. We don't really need you document them (like writing it down), we just want to see you're able to identify the issues and fix it. What you want to do is understand why the error is happening, then in the future try to have the error happen less. After a while, you get over the smaller issues and start focusing on bigger and bigger issues involving the overall code. Same thing applies to React, or any other language
@@SuperSimpleDev really? When interviewing what do you seek in a candidate? How many programming languages do you seek? I saw on job advert, with a long list which I don't fit. As , the code error. It shows error '' ' is missing. But the code I copied doesn't have it. Probably a mistake on my part. I understand we all make mistakes, my aim is to minimise them.
I don't seek any programming language actually. Different people use different languages to do the coding problem like JavaScript, Python, Java, C++, or Golang. Usually if they know 1 language very well, it's easy to learn another one so I'm not too worried about what language they know
🎉🎉🎉🎉you are super 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉Bro❤❤❤❤
Agree with you sir collage are taking money 💰 not give skills
so ı have question ım a self thought and ım studying in university but in online program for 4 years so which am ı ?
+ ı just start to university this year and start to self thought this year aswell and in couple month ım gonna start to do
my portfolio
This is a very cool video which you have made.
Hello sir I need your help
Need Java full course sir ple
Please we can get Mobile programming tutorials.
and dont depend on recruiters.
How to get internship bro 😮
I am a CS graduate and taking notes on how not to loss to a non-IT 😉
I wonder would an math degree help in any way?
Yup, sort of. A math degree will be acceptable for job postings that want a "technical" degree. Although it doesn't give you any bonus points for having one
dude how many languages do you know? I am shocked :D
or do all this with the CS degree 😄
Im a sellf taugh dev and CS degree lol
I have Russian "long time ago" CS degree. I now sort of need to compete against my old self, or support my old self to jump into US job market with new skills and perfect English..:)
So basically you need to show the proof that you are capable
who tf disliked this?
cs students
@@Mathe_Baendiger😂😂
college is just a bunch of half baked ideas with half baked executions from half baked profs. it's better to just learn yourself. they will just waste your time AND your money
Why don't you make content anymore?I just started studying programming and I understand that no one explains better than you😁
He is making a JavaScript course that is over 20+ hours
